Handle - 4-1/4"

Blade - 1/8" 01 High scandi grind with tiny-weeny micro bevel on the Olive only. Micarta is zero ground

Oh, in case you're interested, I'm keeping the Micarta model. I've never worked with it before (well, not properly) & I wanted a good, allround user.

Rob,
Those are nice, bud.

By the way, what are those round brown things in the ground cover next to the knives? Doggie diamonds????
